Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction 2016 Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Award 2016 & the 2016 Man Booker Prize. A biting satire about a young man`s isolated upbringing & the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. Born in the `agrarian ghetto` of Dickens on the outskirts of Los Angeles & raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He was led to believe that his father`s pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family`s financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that`s left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral. Fuelled by this deceit & the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town`s most famous resident
- the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins
- he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery & segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court. In his trademark absurdist style, which has the uncanny ability to make readers want to both laugh & cry, The Sellout is an outrageous & outrageously entertaining indictment of our time.

The Secrets Sisters Keep

Sinead Moriarty`s delicious tenth novel, The Secrets Sisters Keep, is the story of three sisters, three life-altering problems and one eternal truth: nobody knows you quite like a sister! Sinead`s writing mixes the worldly wit of Jane Green with the down-to-earth warmth and insight of Marian Keyes and will remind people just how important their sisters - and their friends-who-are-like-sisters - are to them. The Devlin sisters rely on each other - but some things are just too painful to share, even when your sisters are your best friends...Mum-of-four Julie thought that if her family had more money, life would be easier. But now that they`ve inherited a fortune, her problems are only starting. Lawyer Louise is used to having life go exactly as she wants it to. So accepting that she
cannot control everything in her world is beyond her. And former model Sophie can just about cope with getting older - that`s until her ex-husband finds a younger model. All three women think that some battles are best fought alone. Maybe they need to think again...Praise for Sinead: ”Moving, disarmingly honest and at times laugh-out-loud funny”. (Sunday Times).”One of the brightest voices in modern women`s fiction”. (Bella). ”Sinead Moriarty can bring readers from hilarity to heartbreak with great deftness”. (Sunday Independent). ”Touching, warm, funny and emotional. She has the gift of telling a very emotive story with grace and empathy”. (Woman`s Way). Sinead Moriarty lives with her family in Dublin. Her previous titles are: The Baby Trail; A Perfect Match; From Here
to Maternity; In My Sister`s Shoes; Keeping It In the Family (also titled Whose Life is it Anyway?); Pieces of My Heart; Me and My Sisters; This Child of Mine and Mad About You.
